Naremburn is an ancient and historic suburb that mainly has Federation style cottages built from timber and bricks.

For a long time, the area preserved the old way of life, and there was minimal growth.

When the Warringah freeway cut across Naremburn, there were concerns that the city would begin industrializing and jeopardizing the values that the people upheld for so long.

The road opened up Naremburn to significant development, and when the second road, Gore hill freeway cut through Naremburn as well, construction of more townhouses began.

This was however still a concern as more people strive to preserve the character of Naremburn.

The people’s concerns were addressed by the national trust of Australia that came up with clear guides and plans on how the area should develop and areas to conserve.
